Sonata for Brass Choir (1999) was written for and is dedicated to Michael Stewart and the
Chicago Brass Choir with funding from the Broeker Fund for New Music. The work is in
three movements.
The first movement, Fanfare and Tuckets, contains elements of a traditional fanfare as well as
a few harmonic surprises.
The second movement, Arioso, is pervaded throughout by a descending ostinato figuration in
the horns and occasionally in the trombones. Melodies and melodic fragments emerge in the
other instruments deriving themselves from the ostinato pattern.
The third movement, Dance, contains elements of the dance form known as the furiant
(distinguished by its metrical pattern consisting of alternating bars of 3/4 and 3/8 time). A
driving pulse is explored throughout as the work presses on to its conclusion.
